or is it all random? thanks
You are essentially asking whether pi is a normal number. Whether it is or isn't is unknown. It's very hard to prove whether a number is normal.acesuv said:or is it all random? thanks

LCKurtz said:That site says ##\pi## is an infinite non-repeating decimal "meaning that every possible number combination exists somewhere" in the decimal expansion of ##\pi##. No, that means that ##\pi## is irrational. Whether it satisfies that phrase in quotes is an open question.
Pi is irrational, is it not?LCKurtz said:No, that means that ##\pi## is irrational.
Would you mind explaining why it's problematic and contains misinformation?micromass said:Yes. The link provided by adjacent contains a lot of misinformation. I'm only leaving the post up because the link is very popular on the internet, so it would be good to debunk it here. So all the readers should be aware that it is very problematic.

adjacent said:We already know that Pi contains numbers from 0 to 9. So that means it's proved.
I think that the author of the [STRIKE]post[/STRIKE] image meant that a digit can be used as many times you want. He must have thought without considering the reality.micromass said:The number 0.123456789010010001000010000010... is also irrational and contains numbers from 0 to 9. It still doesn't satisfy the property you want.

What post are you talking about?adjacent said:I think that the author of the post meant that a digit can be used as many times you want. He must have thought without considering the reality.
It is proved that you can have all the combinations of digits.( I have just realized that this is wrong)HallsofIvy said:That means what is proved?

What do you mean? I don't understand.jedishrfu said:Ahh, the life of Pi, some people get eaten by tigers and some not so much.

Pi, represented by the symbol π, is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is approximately equal to 3.14159 and is used in various mathematical and scientific calculations, making it an important concept in the fields of mathematics, physics, and engineering.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that there are any repeating or predictable patterns in the digits of Pi. It is believed to be a random, infinite sequence of numbers with no discernible patterns.
The search for patterns in Pi is primarily driven by human curiosity and the desire to understand and explain complex mathematical concepts. It is also a challenge for mathematicians and computer scientists to see how far they can calculate Pi and if any patterns emerge.
Despite numerous attempts, no repeating or predictable patterns have been found in the digits of Pi. However, there have been some interesting observations, such as the "Feynman Point" where six 9s appear in a row at the 762nd decimal place.
While the search for patterns in Pi may not have any direct practical applications, the calculations and algorithms used in the process have led to advancements in computing and the development of new mathematical theories. It also serves as a way to test the limits of our understanding of numbers and the universe.
